News Ngannou on if he is willing to fight Jones for the same money: "Oh no, no, no... f***, no"

[Roljo]

So Jones was "ducking" Francis asking for more money, so surely now Ngannou taking a book out of Jon's chapter and "ducking" him ?

Might wanna censor the word "fuck" in your thread title, bro. You'll get dubs for that.

No shit Ngannou should be getting paid more to fight Jones.

 

[Bronson]

I would have thought that Francis might say he'd do it for less or something just to rattle Jones but it was an honest answer. Money talks.

***Ngannou shook CONFIRMED***


Where’s all the Sherbetas who were putting this on Jones???

 

[svmVR2097]

You'd think putting on a massive PPV to help ease Disneys concerns right now would maybe get the UFC in better graces with them and they may relax on not getting all the 42 cards done they needed to before this pandemic started

Of course he would want more money. Both him and Jones would deserve more. The card would probably do pretty good so why would I rather see guys like Dana pocket the extra cash?

I mean wtf should he - bound to be an epic scrap between two very big names. The ramifications are pretty high for both. Strike while the iron is hot or wait for the next wave...

What he's getting now would probably buy him 50,000 oxen and 2000 wifes back home

 

[Smato_rules]

I don’t get it, don’t they already have a contract dictating what they get paid to fight for?

 

[DeathStroke]

Posted this in the first thread about this fight, but the UFC wont pay either guy enough to make this fight happen. As cool of a fight as it is for fans, it makes no business sense.

They'll either kill off a champions invincible aura, or kill off the most hyped contender in the HW division since the Brock/Shane Carwin era. It is what it is.

But lets Blame Jones..

Am I rite???

 

[Tabarnakos]

Its called negotiation tactics. Start high , UFC offer lower , meet somewhere in the middle

Nothing new really

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

Ngannou knows he would be a lamb to the slaughter against Jones

He should at least be paid well for it.

 

[Utahraptor Ostrommaysi]

I'm with Francis on this one. MMA fighter get paid peanuts compared to athletes from other sports. If Francis fights Jones, he should get paid.

Why would he though? He deserves more cash for fighting a bigger name that will bring in more for the company. Seems logical to me.

Rozenstruik $ to fight Jon Jones? Fuck that. That would be a poor business decision. What agent/manager would let his client do that?
